Gladsome  Spirit 


Che  light  of  peace  was  in  her  smile, 
fier  laughter  thrilled  like  music's 

power; 

8bc  passed  adown  life's  stony  way 
Hnd  from  each  footprint  sprang  a 

flower* 


ayside  Gleanings 


I  gather  flowers  on  moss -paved 

woodland  ways, 
I  roam  with  poets  dead  in  tranced 

amaze; 
Soon  must  my  wild-wood  sheaf  be 

cast  away, 
But  in  my  heart  the  poet's  song 

shall  stay. 


\< 


he  Sfey  Weavers 


Che  cloud-sheep's  wool  is  sheared 

for  spinning, 
Hnd  the  good    earth   mother  has 

spun  it  in  rain; 
Che  golden  strands  of  the  sun 

she's  winning 
Co  weave  in  a  fabric  of  golden 

grain* 


^3B^ 


be  Cttorld  Secret 


H  secret  is  guarded  by  each  rose  cell, 
Seek  it  and  study  its  meaning  well; 
It  lies  at  the  heart  of  the  great 

world  plan 
Hnd  tells  of  the  making  of  earth 

and  man. 


ove 


H  sibyl  of  unnumbered  years  is  she; 

H  sphinx  who  calmly  looks  at  des 
tiny; 

forever  young,— prophet  of  all 
things  true: 

]«en,  monarchies  and  worlds  can  she 
subdue. 


tars  of  the  Soul 


I  looked  into  a  lens    while  stars 

rolled  by; 
I  looked  into  your  eyes  so  like  the 


Hnd  in  your  eyes  methought  1  saw 

revealed 
JMore  worlds  than  swam  in  heav'n  s 

unending  field. 


imitations 

Re  who  can  shape  of  cosmic  mist 
the  spheres 

Hnd  round  a  world  in  all  its  won 
der  dight, 

Can  fashion  out  of  thought  the 
dizzy  years, 

Hye,  even  he  is  slave  to  truth  and 
right 


be  Hntbcm  of  the  Sea 


O  breezes  blow  me  some  soft 
melody 

Upon  the  reed  pipe  by  the  western 
shore, 

Hnd  let  thy  anthem  low  steal  plead 
ingly 

In  great  sea  throbs  of  love  forever- 
more* 


be  Joy  of 


Che  pine  trees  wave  their  tops  and 

shout  for  joy, 
Che  great  sea  claps  its  snow  white 

hands  in  glee, 
Hnd  from  the  thunder  cloud's  dark 

lips  roll  free 
«Kld  strains  that  glorify   while 

flames  destroy. 


ransmutations 


Gacb   quiver  of  gnat  wing   goes 

trembling  afar 
Impalpably    winging    from    star 

unto  star; 
Gacb  thought  once  created  for  good 

or  for  ill 

Lives  on  its  own  part  in  the  world 
to  fulfill. 


be  ]Ma9tcr  JMan 


Che  clock's  the  slave  of  father  time, 
Che  sun  controls  the  season, 
But  man  is  master  in  his  prime 
3nd  rules  them  all  with  reason. 


be  Soncf  and  the  Gcbo 


I  dreamed  that  in  my  hand  I  held  a 
bird 

Cttarbling  in  careless  joy  its  wood 
land  strain; 

I  wakened  and  the  echo  still  I  heard, 

But  O  methought  its  murmur 
breathed  of  pain. 


credity 


Blind  power  that  chains  me  to  the 
wheel  of  fate, 

fiugc  stone  that  crushes  with  its 
cruel  weight, 

One  weapon  have  I  that  can  curb 
thee  still, 

JMy  own  untrammelled,  self  con 
trolled  wilt 


be  OKU  to  Do 


'Cwas  might  of  will  that  made  the 

reptile  fly; 
'Cwas  love  that  changed  it  to  a  bird 

of  song; 
O  man,  faint  hearted,  if  thou  wouldst 

but  try, 
Chou,  too,  couldst  mount  and  sing 

on  pinions  strong. 


onscicncc 


In  heaven  there  sits  a  judge  in  awful 

state 
<dho  in  the  booh  of  doom  writes 

down  my  fate* 
"O  who  art  thou,  stern  judge  1" 

erstwhile  I  cried. 
"Chy  own  immortal  self/'  the 

voice  replied. 


be  Htoms 


Che  atoms— blocks  wherewith  the 

soul 
Builds  temples  wrought  of  flesh 

and  flower, 
Cdhcncc  unto  6od  deep  strains 

uproll 
Co  praise  the  JMaster's  gracious 

power! 


upremacy 


Cbcre  is  a  power  that  guides  the 

wind, 

Chat  holds  the  raging  sea  in  awe,— 
In  heaven  'tis  called  the  JMastcr 

JMind, 
On  earth  the  Universal  Law. 


[be  JMahing  of  JMan 

Cdben  thou  wert  made,  O  man,  the 

great  stars  sang 

H  paean  of  exultant  hopes  and  fears; 
Robed  in  the  love  of  6od  thou  didst 

arise, 
Battling  thy  way  through  earth's 

wild  sea  of  tears. 


ight  and  Love 


Che  mighty  pillars  of  eternal  day 
Hre  light  and  love  that  steadfast 

stand,  sublime, 
propping  the  heavens  glorious  in 

array 
Of  blue,  supreme  above  the  trend  of 

time* 


be  Sphinx  Life 


Che  sting  of  the  snahe  in  the  with 

ered  grass, 
Che  sweep  of  a  storm  from  a  shy 

of  brass, 
Che  hiss  of  a  mother  upon  her 

dead,— 
Che  riddle  of  life  in  death  is  read* 


o  the  Nineteenth  Century 


Ye   mightiest   age   of   ages,  there 

shall  be 

H  paean  as  of  victory  when  thou 
Co  all  thy  triumphs  addest  this 

decree: 
Before  the  love  eternal  men  shall 

bow* 


[be  people's  Triumph 

Chere  is  a  wide-world  melody  that 

sings 
Che  triumph  of  the  people,  grown 

to  kings,— 
Che  triumph  of  the  good,  the  true, 

In  this, V  man,  put  all  thy  life  and 
trust! 


rogress 


Could  X  but  speak  the  great  world 

voice  I  bear, 
I'd  bie  me  from  my  vale  to  some 

far  beigbt 
Hnd  herald  with  my  trumpet,  loud 

and  clear, 
progress!   but   with   love's   clear 

torch  for  light! 


trended  F)opes 


Like  shipwrights  do  we  launch  on 

ocean's  way 
Our  thoughts,  well  freighted  for  the 

voyage  afar* 
Row  few  may  waft  to  Gurope  or 

Cathay— 
Cime's  wreckage  clings  on  many  a 

moaning  bar!

Cbe  rainbow  meltetb  in  its  fair

laby  and  JMotber 


Little  one  by  your  mother's  side

Y*ars  way  roll  in  a  sullen  tide 
But  still  you'll  trust  and  sbe'll  be 

true*

|o  a  Caged  Canary 


Sing  tbrougb  your  prison  bars,  bird, 

to  tbe  sun; 
freedom  by  singing  alone  can  be 

won: 
I,  from  my  prison  of  f lesb,  strive 

in  vain 
Cbus  by  a  song  to  be  master  of 

pain* 


Dear  beart  have  pity  for  all  crea 
ture's  pain, 

Be  merciful,  be  gentle,  and  forget 

f^o  sorrow  save  your  own:  tbus 
may  you  gain 

Some  word  of  love  from  eyes  with 
anguisb  wet* 


be  Crucible  of  Grief 

Olbcn  in  the  crucible  of  grief  is 

thrown 
H  human  soul,  with  fate's  white 

flame  below, 
Che    JMaster   watches   silent   and 

alone 
Co  see  if  gold  be  freed  in  midst  of 

woe*

H  stranger  passing  heard  a  death 

fenell  toll. 

be  eternal 

Che  herb  of  the  field  may  wither  and 

the  flower  be  but  dust  in  a  day, 
But  the  seed  that  is  sown  in  summer 

shall  quicken  next  JMay; 
Hnd  the  heart  of  the  man  aweary 

may  rest  from  its  pain  in  peace, 
But  the  love  it  has  long  engendered 

shall  live  and  increase* 


portrait 

Bair  of  the  harvest  field,  eye  of  the 

ocean's  hue, 
Cbougbtful   and   calm    the  brow, 

tender  the  lips,  and  true; 
peaceful  the  poise  of  head,  loving 

the  smile  or  grace. 
Lofty  the  spirit  that  shows  through 

the  gentle  face* 


pritig  flowers 


Cups   of   blue  and  stars  of  gold 
Reach  above  the  Hpril  sward; 
Garth  in  vain  may  seek  to  hold 
Spirits  who  would  greet  their  Lord. 


n  the  Springtime 

Che  lizard  has  crawled  from  the 

darkness  to  bask  in  the  sun, 
Che  snakes,  in  their  raiment  of  gold, 

glide  abroad,  one  by  one; 
Che  birds  in  the  branches  above  are 

with  gladness  inspired, 
fair  earth  with  the  glory  of  heaven, 

sublimely  is  fired*

In  dead  night  silence  still  I  hear 
Che  clash  of  deeds  throughout  the

But  over  all,  beneath,  above, 
Che  all -enfolding  chant  of  love.

It  tells  of  longing  love  and  peace; 
It  bids  day  care  and  toil  to  cease.

Che  waning  year  heaves,  faltering, 

to  its  rest, 
But  from  its  dead  self  springs  the 

glad  new  yean 

O  phoenix  time,  tbou  risest  to  attest 
Cdbat  promise  waits  tbe  soul  wben

Gnough?  Cbou  wouldst  but  mock

YOU   touched  tbe  faded  flower  I

Hnd   vanished   mid   tbe   mist   of

I  sit  alone  by  my  hearthstone  cold 
Olbile   you   are    smiling    through 

bitter  tears.
